Teens invited to make public service announcement

SANFORD — WSSR-TV and MHPC will host a night for area teenagers to produce public service announcements (PSA) on Wednesday, Feb. 27, from 4 to 7 p.m.

The event will take place in WSSR-TV’s studio in the Sanford Regional Technical Center at 52 SHS Boulevard.

Refreshments will be provided.

All students who show up are required to have a media/talent release and will have the opportunity to appear in the PSA video.

“This is a community-wide effort to reach teens and engage them in a fun format while producing broadcast-quality programming,” said Shannon Surran, the station’s community outreach and media producer and coordinator.

Videos produced that evening will be available for airing on all local area cable stations.

Maine Healthy Communities is sponsoring the event, thanks to a Grant to Reduce Alcohol Abuse.
